I’ve not always lived in Harpenden, prior to that I lived in west London for 15 years, but I am originally a Northern girl. Manchester, to be precise. I still love my home town and the indie music that I grew up with - The Stone Roses, The Happy Mondays, The Charlatans - all that 90s Madchester music. I still love that sound, all accessed via Xfm these days; particular favourites being The Courteeners, The Wombats and Kasabian. Mixed in with all of that however is a very large dose of the 60s, I love a bit of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones!
I’m massively drawn to accents and if I can’t work out which part of the country (or world) you’re from then I just have to ask - just to see if I had located you correctly. If you’ve got an accent then put me to the test!!
I love documentaries on TV like, Who do you think you are? and Long lost Family - what a tear jerker that one is! Breaking Bad has got to be my all time favourite TV series, as yet unsurpassed!
I love Mackies Ice cream, if you’ve not tried it you must, it is the best ever! Drink wise, make mine a nice cold G&T.
Before the children came along I travelled the world. I loved new experiences, things like floating in the Dead Sea in Jordan, climbing the pyramids of Egypt and (attempting) to surf in Hawaii!
Last year I achieved my ambition of seeing the Northern lights in Iceland, what an absolute thrill and truly magical. Not so magical however was the moment we realised we had accidentally locked ourselves out of our remote lodge looking for the lights after midnight, at minus 6 degrees, without our mobiles or keys - just my big camera and my teenage son’s phone - with only 9% battery life… oh dear. The image below was captured whilst we were still blissfully unaware of the predicament we were in - ask me to relay the rest of the story!
I am looking forward to new holiday adventures now that my kids are getting older. Next on my bucket list is going on a hot air balloon ride over somewhere special - not over the Thames! If you’ve done it then please let me know where best to go!!
Best wishes,

“Was such a pleasure having Celine capture some special family moments. She really had the patience of a saint and was so accommodating bringing to life the ideas we had. From the initial chat to the very classy final presentation , I couldn‘t recommend her more.”
“We had the most memorable and special morning at Celine’s; not only do we have a stunning collection of photos of our daughter but Celine made it a real experience for us and had some incredible tips and advise for soothing the baby which we have been using for the last 6 months and have not failed us yet! Could not recommend more highly.”
